BAYALA SAFARI LODGE
about the wedding
The coming together of Team England & Team South Africa! No amount of wind was gonna prevent these two meeting in the final! Amz and Paddy it was such a pleasure being there for your day. You are the most wonderful, joyous humans!
Well done to Bayala Private Safari Lodge, Lizel and the team in making a plan switching everything up in the morning because of the wind. It all turned out beautifully.
